Monday Night Blues Series celebrating Janis Joplin’s birthday

30 Jan, 2017

Monday, January 23rd at 5:00pm – 7:00pm, (FREE)
Every Monday Redbones will celebrate BLUES MUSIC. Between 5pm-7pm we will feature a Single Musician who has made their mark on The Blues.

Tonight we will be celebrating Janis Joplin’s birthday (January 19, 1943). Joplin was an influential American singer of the 1960s; her raw, powerful and uninhibited singing style, combined with her turbulent and emotional lifestyle, made her one of the biggest female stars in her lifetime. She is known for her blues-inspired vocals and considered by some as the First Lady of Rock ‘n’ Roll. She died of an accidental drug overdose in 1970 at the age of 27, after releasing three albums. A fourth album was released a little more than three months after her death, reaching number 1 on the charts.
